This message will inform you of upcoming fall 2026 registration changes.

Graduate Students

Registration pins will no longer be assigned to graduate students; no registration holds will be assigned.  All Graduate students begin to register on Wednesday, April 1, unless in a priority registration group. Please contact your advisor to schedule an advising session.

Undergraduate Students

Registration pins will no longer be assigned; instead, registration holds will be placed on all undergraduate students' records beginning March 3rd, 2026, through August 31st, 2026. The hold will be released by the advisor during the student’s advising session. Please contact your advisor to schedule an advising session.

The holds will prevent any individual course withdrawal from the current spring term during the specified time period, so it is extremely important for students to contact their advisors to schedule an advising session and have their hold released.

To view the hold status, follow the instructions below.

  • The Contact Advisor hold will prevent registration until the student has met with the advisor, and the advisor has released the hold.
  • Releasing the holds will allow the students to access the registration without having to enter a pin each time a change is needed.
  • Students will still schedule during their assigned time appointment, but the registration system will no longer require a pin.
  • Once the hold has been released by the advisor, students will simply be able register for classes by going to the Registration Toolbox in the Course Registration and Holds card through MyIUP.
